Developing Multi/Translingual Competencies and Expertise Through Peer Interactions: Affordances, Constraints, and Complexities
Fri, April 13, 2:15 to 3:45pm, New York Hilton Midtown, Floor: Concourse Level, Concourse G RoomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This session brings together top scholars exploring peer interaction and learning in multilingual contexts to critically examine the ways in which peer interactions provide opportunities for developing multi/translingual competencies and academic expertise, particularly among Spanish-speaking, linguistically minoritized US youth. Building on recent calls for scholars to consider multilingual individuals, their expertise, and the interactions in which they engage in their full complexity (Author, blinded), presenters highlight particular affordances and constraints of peer interactions in multiple settings, inside and outside of school, using ethnographic and discourse-analytic methods. In doing so, they present innovative portraits of the ways in which our theoretical views are and should be evolving to encompass the ever-more complex settings that multilingual research has come to document.
